The first one is a soldier of the Baden regiment of life grenadier guards.
This guy required a lot of cutting and re-shaping work, including the use of heated cutters, etc. I'm not completely satisfied with the outcome, but the next one will be better.

Nevertheless, it's a really nice uniform pattern. And easy to paint - if it wasn't for all the little details.
In comparizon, the next two guys were a lot easier. Blue again, it's soldiers from the regiment Ile de Ré and Walcheren.

Nice and quick to paint. I still argue about that guy on the left side (Ile de Ré rgt.) - that pose looks somewhat weird. The next unit to come should be some Swiss guys, but at first, I'll have to paint something Polish, eh?

About Me

I've been born in 1974, I'm married for more than ten years with a hyper-creative woman and I'm the father of two wonderful boys.
Naturally, that doesn't leave much daytime for any hobby. Painting miniatures is my way of relaxation. My addiction, to be honest.
I'm in this hobby again for nearly two years now. It all started when my Dad bought a plastic kit of a Mitsubishi Zero when I was six years old. First, he build planes for me, later I did it on my own. My first ESCI box of British infantry came to me when I was around 14 years old. I must confess that I painted it lousily, but back then, I liked them very much.
Now, after all these years in which I preferred computer games, girls, parties and doing nonsense, I slowly started to settle down again - and back came the little plastic dudes.
I consider myself being an apprentice in these arts. There's so much more to learn! So I hope you enjoy this place and my works and maybe it's a way of exchanging inspiration. Please feel free to leave comments!
